Pointless ?

The Times raises questions about the exit of Jeremy Adams from the management team at BBC Northern Ireland, and brings in the names of two senior executives - Rhodri Talfan Davies and Bob Shennan. 

It says that two years ago Rhodri investigated grievances against Mr Adams, and that, as recently as June, Bob reviewed that exercise with unhappy complainants who said the procedure had been 'as pointless as it was painful'.  Mr Adams seems to have departed in January, with a glowing tribute from NI boss Peter Johnston; he may or may not have received a sum for having his job 'restructured'. 

One former BBC NI employee Una Carlin recently revealed that she'd signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of a settlement of her claims. Former producer Lena Ferguson has a High Court claim for damages for bullying pending. 

  • If you want to catch up with Bob, he'll be part of Radiodays Europe Women in Lisbon next month, with a three hour long masterclass with other top level executives, "who will share their own experience, and provide advice to women who aspire to be more empowered in the workplace, and to take the position they really want."
